We know that you all love a great sketch.
Sketches have so much life in them. Use different collections each time, and you are sure to have endless possibilities. You can also rotate the sketch right or left, and get a whole new take on it.
Sketches are created as a “jumping off” point for you. They can be interpreted exactly or very loosely. There are not measurements, so you can make it yours.
CHALLENGE #4: Create a spread using this sketch as your inspiration. The circles on the far left side can be used as is–circles, snowflakes, embellishments, buttons, stars, etc. It’s all what you see in them! When you are done, take a quick photo and post it to the event page before 5:00 pm CST to qualify for the prize.
Please use hashtag: #CMVirtualCrop
Tips for this sketch: Use the circles literally, and place circles where they are shown–OR, use them as inspiration for placement of hearts, buttons, stars, flowers, etc. Use your imagination–it is a wonderful thing!

Digital Spread created by Beth Thomander- CAN

To create this spread you’ll need:
Natural Elegance Paper Pack US CAN
Raspberry 12X12 Cardstock US CAN
Pastel Pink ABC/123 Stickers US CAN
Scallop Dots Border Maker Cartridge US CAN
Start by creating photo mats out of Raspberry Cardstock (three measuring 4-1/4” 6-1/4” and three measuring 3-1/4” X 4-1/4”). Cut two rectangles of Natural Elegance patterned paper to 3” X 4” and adhere them to two of the small mats. Print photos (one measuring 3” X 4” and three measuring 4” X 6”) and adhere them to the remaining mats.
Next, cut a strip of Natural Elegance patterned paper to 1-1/2” X 12”. Cut a piece of White Cardstock to 2-1/2” X 12” and use the Scallop Border Cartridge to punch and edge along both sides. Cut a piece of Raspberry Cardstock to measure 3” X 12”. Using The Tape Runner, adhere these three pieces together and then adhere them to the spread leaving about 1/3” from the spread base.
Then take two strips of White Cardstock measuring 1” X 12” and punch a Scallop Dot Border along each of them. Use the 12-Inch Trimmer to cut the border down the second row of dots. Using a piece of Natural Elegance patterned paper that measures approximately 5” X 5-1/2” draw a heart free-hand and then use the All Purpose Scissors to cut the heart out. Attach the scallop strips along the back of the heart edges so that only the scallops show and the dots are hidden behind. Trim off the excess and adhere the extra pieces to the back side of two of the 3” X 4” matted pattern appears.
Add the photos and heart to the layout and then use Pastel Pink ABC/123s to create titles. Finally, finish off the layout by journalling using the Black Pen.
